A Houseful


It's been great having all the folks here today. Briefly, we had 9, but we're back to 7 now. Jean (and granddog, Spencer) got here about 2 - drove in the rain all the way in heavy traffic. Kate and Andy got here about 5 - after more than four hours in the rain, in what Kate called "all idiots must drive on I-24 today" traffic. Shorly after after they arrived, Paul and Sarah left to go to their other grandparents for the rest of the weekend. Then John went out to get Chinese for dinner. Life is good!

And it has rained steadily almost all day long. We'd complain if we didn't need the rain so bad. I think we've gotten nearly 2" of rain today. And fortunately, the temperatures have been in the 50s, so there was no danger of that white stuff. It was good.

The down side of today was that SeniorNet was out of commission all day. About 9 tonight, an e-mail came out saying that the SN web site had experienced a hardware system failure, and that there would be system-wide, rolling outages for maybe a couple of days. How terrible!!!! Withdrawal!!!! I surely am glad we have a houseful of people to keep me distracted. 8^)

In keeping with the season, here's a snowy picture - from Colorado last May.
